*Old Waterfall was rebuilt in backyard garden
Old waterfall was rebuilt in a beautiful, backyard garden area in Columbia Heights, MN.
Photo shows new waterfall right after installation having two headwaters and ending in a gravel basin.
The basin catches leaves and plant debris, making upkeep simple.
The waterfall has gradual shallowing near the top and a bigger drop at the end.
Here are some before and after photos:
